Breast Reduction Surgery:
Everything You Need to Know About Reducing Breast Size
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large breasts. Women with large breasts often experience physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as emotional distress due to their breast size. Breast reduction surgery helps alleviate these issues by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, resulting in a more proportionate and comfortable breast size. In addition to physical relief, breast reduction can also enhance body image and self-confidence.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery?
Ideal candidates for breast reduction surgery include women who:
- Experience chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders due to large breasts.
- Have breasts that are disproportionate to their body size.
- Suffer from skin irritation under the breasts or bra strap grooves on their shoulders.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.
- Are non-smokers or are willing to quit smoking before and after surgery to promote better healing.
Breast reduction surgery is not limited to women; men with gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) can also benefit from this procedure.
Types of Breast Reduction Techniques
There are several different techniques for breast reduction surgery depending on the individual’s needs:
- Anchor or Inverted-T Incision: This is the most common technique for women with very large breasts. It involves three incisions: one around the areola, a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. This allows for significant tissue removal and reshaping.
- Vertical or Lollipop Incision: This technique involves two incisions: one around the areola and another vertically down to the breast crease. It is ideal for women with moderately large breasts and results in less scarring compared to the anchor technique.
- Liposuction: For women who need only a small reduction in breast size and have good skin elasticity, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat from the breasts with minimal scarring.
Conclusion
Breast reduction surgery is an effective solution for women seeking relief from the physical discomfort and emotional distress associated with large breasts. In addition to improving appearance, the procedure enhances overall well-being and quality of life. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, the benefits of the procedure, and what to expect during recovery.
